Thanks guys. The support helps. I got back on the horse last night and finished in the money. So all is well with the world again. Sunshine and flowers.

Really really interesting. Snowie hardly leads on the unpaired board at all.

Ok, I’m replying to my own post because put this scenario through some analysis. Snowie likes a small lead 24% of the time and a small check-raise the other 76% of the time. But putting the Preflop scenario through HRC pointed up a complication—at 20bb deep, the button may not be opening his full range to this size. He may be jamming most hands and only raising to this size with his most premium hands. HRC says he should jam everything other than KK, A7o, K9o and KTo (I get KK, but why not AA? dunno). That would change things.

Makes sense. Using Janda’s conditions mentioned above, KT is probably not a good candidate because the K means you don’t need to deny equity to hands like KQ and KJ, and KT’s equity is not as robust as a hand with better chances to improve. So if you’re ever going to check-raise top pair here, something like T9 might be better, since it needs protection and has some chance to improve.

Check-calling is definitely an option. I put this into Snowie and the position of the opener and bet size all matter. Against a UTG open, it donks something like 14% and check-calls the rest. Against a button min raise, it donks 33% and it check-raises more than it check-calls. Matthew Janda wrote, “ there is no quick and hard rule for this, but with many top pair hands there often appears to exist a ‘sweet spot’ for making aggressive flop check-raises. The hand needs to be both vulnerable so the check-raise will deny a significant amount of equity, yet still strong enough that it can handle playing the turn and River out of position against a stronger range for a bloated pot.”

Hi. I’m new. Agree that a check is probably GTO, based on my little bit of knowledge. If you are going to c bet, would bigger be better?
